Nike Vapor Street Shoes?

I think Nike's description gives it away (although the mid-sole *looks* a lot like the Vapor Fly Elite:

"Equipped for everyday wear [i.e. NOT FOR RUNNING], with the same fast look [IF WE TELL YOU THEY HAVE A FAST LOOK, WE'RE TELLING YOU THEY'RE NOT FAST], is the Vapor Street. The shoe borrows the Flyknit upper [BUT NOT THE MIDSOLE] from the Vaporfly Elite for a feel that's lightweight, breathable and snug. React [NOTABLY NOT LUNARLON OR ZOOM X] foam underfoot is plush and responsive. This bright Varsity Red colorway takes inspiration from some of the shoes worn by the biggest runners in the world.

aka the 50 minute 5K hobbyjogger next door who's always doing "wind sprints" down the street

Thanks for the very informative reply. Will stuck with my Zoom Fly and Zoom Vaporfly 4%. Maybe I will check out the Turbo Pegasus 35 when t comes out.

So essentially it's a knock-off version of their own Vapor fly elite. Gotta give it to them, they took a preemptive strike at the knock off manufacturers and keep the money in-house.

This is probably the funniest reply to a post I’ve seen on here hahaha

it's meant to be worn casually, you might be able to run in it tho

Mostly agreed, but Nike has marketed React foam as a replacement for Lunarlon and it seems Lunarlon is being phased out as last gen midsole. So disagree with the "notably not Lunarlon" part, and it's still probably pretty decent for running but definitely not marketed for that. Some people in running shoe geeks on Facebook claim they're pretty good for running but who knows with those geeks.

The guy who was 4th in the 100 km WC ran in a pair of Vapor Street.
